NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I still remember my grandparent's last 3 home phone numbers

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 3d

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Looked on eBay and fb marketplace already and haven’t seen any replacements ;-; maybe someone here can help? I’m actually so sad :((

A broken bowl. It’s an off white ceramic bowl with yellow, green, red, and black vertical stripes on the trim.

I am tired.

Stop trying to play "gotcha" with conservatives. They don't care about hypocrisy.

They only care about power.

Can we stop monolithing Latines? Might as well say white gringos have an entrepreneur spirit that makes them natural republicans. Like this is icky levels of cultural essentialism and denial of agency.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 4d

Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Thought it might be fun to share my little ideas doc I write on when I get ideas and all I have on me is my phone.

Once the idea is in the right doc I erase it from this one

RANDOM IDEAS
Duet game where two immortal PCs go through multiple historical eras (inspired by wild seed)

PUEBLO UNIDO
Pueblo unido should split the city map and build out each players map as a form of player progression

When doing something cool add a die to the threat pool then roll 2dX. If less than threat pool size then deploy the threat pool and up the danger level. Each die that lands on the failure level is a snag regardless of roll total.

N:UIO
"Advantage" in n:uio expressed as +/- 1 tokens or maybe hit multiplier tokens for big climactic moments

TO READ
Read pirate Borg for the ship combat
Read that game Manchae recommended
Maybe traveller, mothership
13th age?

I remember writing an authentication server in college and I made the entry message "congrats on logging in". Not saying it's necessarily this but sometimes a congrats message is just a random person building a site and being happy you were successfully taken through thr procedure

Libraries are literally the greatest thing the USA has. The usa has a lot of amazing things but libraries are far and away #1, we should be investing more and more into the system

Matthew Noe @noethematt.bsky.social · 5d

Reminder than in the Worcester budget, the Library is not even 1% of the spend.

We've fallen to about .74%.

I'd love it if you emailed your Councilor *and* the City Manager to ask that the library budget be bumped up.

Staffing. Programs. Collections. New tech. We can do more with more.
